I feel like Windows 11 was literally JUST in the headlines for bricking PCs with one of their forced updates. I get that *nix is not for everyone, but it is VERY rare that you hit an issue with one of the more popular distros that hasn't already been hit and with a documented answer on a reputable forum with an easy search. When I've had issues with Windows stuff, you have less information to go on usually, just some BSoD or similar and the forum posts seem to be heavily moderated (post chains read like a generic tech support call - have you tried restarting etc etc) and hard to find an answer. Just my anec-data. You usually get a very verbose error message when Linux issues arise and pasting the error message into a search will usually point you right where you need to be.
